The team of expert valuers from the medal centre have been asked to return to County Durham, to run another series of their ever-popular Coin & Medal valuation days to help raise funds for the Royal British legion
The experts from the Medal Centre are visiting six different venues over six days during the first week of March and they will be found at St Clare’s Church on Central Avenue on Wednesday 2nd March.
Open to the public from 9.30am to 4.30pm, everyone is welcome to be offered a free, no obligation valuation of their items and an immediate cash payment should they wish to sell.
The owner of the Medal Centre, Andrew Jukes is an expert in all forms of British campaign & gallantry medals and is a member of the Orders & Medals Research Society. He also has expertise in all forms of militaria with a passion for pocket watches and vintage watch chains
He is assisted by two members of his team of valuers who are experts in coins and bank notes, postcards, Masonic & R.A.O.B regalia along with swords, daggers & edged weapons, cloth & enamel badges & gold & silver coins.
Mr Jukes says he never fails to be surprised at the treasures that can be found in the attics of County Durham or at the back of sideboard drawers. After many years of valuations and making offers he is still thrilled at the amount of good quality items that can be found hiding in old tins and boxes.
People should never be afraid to contact him or a member of his team for advice or a cash offer as often people are amazed at just offers for inherited or unwanted items. No item is too big or small for his team to handle and people are welcome to come along on the day with anything from a single medal to a complete collection. It is always important to remember to bring any original documents, paperwork, photos or boxes that came with the item as these can sometimes help to increase both the value and interest.
At the last series of events Mr Jukes was thrilled to be able to purchase a small box of gold and silver coins along with a group of war medals and bravery medals from a local DLI soldier. However he was probably not as thrilled as the lady owner of the items who walked away from the event with a four figure sum!
Why not call in and see if you can raise some much need extra cash and help the Royal British Legion in the process. No appointment is necessary and all you need to do is come along to be offered a no obligation immediate cash offer.
If you cannot attend on the day the Medal Centre is always happy to arrange a home visit or house-call to see you at your convenience. All you do is ring one of the telephone numbers on the advert for the event printed in next week’s edition.
